Health minister Mohammad Nasim said on Saturday doctors should not stop treating patients in excuse of movement.
“Doctors can’t claim their rights stopping the health service to the patients. You can hold a black batch, you can surround me even if necessary, but do not stop providing the treatment,” the health minister Mohammad Nasim said.
He made the remarks at a program organized by DMC Alumni Trust on the occasion of the 72nd founding anniversary of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.
Stressing on increasing othe checkup time, the Health Minister said “The Prime Minister is very sincere to ensure the health services of the people of the country for which it has been possible to reach health services at the rural level. You do not give the patient so much time. You should take a little longer time to see them well.”
Commenting on the ‘medical education business’, he said “There is a business trend in Bangladesh with education. There are also medical cases which are the worst job. Dhaka Medical College Hospital is one of the medical institutions in the sub-continent. Here, people of different types of profession, including day labourers, farmers are treated.”
